First time at The Blind Tiger, nice vibe – great place. And on the day when Graham Brazier left us (had to play a couple of his songs!) Didn’t have to play something from McCartney II but wanted to – so did. I had a lot of fun with this set – all over the shop really…bit of funk and soul, some garage rock and then some post-punk, electro/synth-pop, a few Kiwi favourites. Good music. That was the aim. Look forward to the next time. Here’s how it went down this time around.
